U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Catherine Peek McEwen was honored with the J. Ben Watkins Award at the Stetson Law Review<\/em> Banquet on Nov. 20 in St. Petersburg, Fla.<\/p>\n

Judge McEwen’s distinguished legal career includes being named the first female judge to serve in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court’s Tampa Division. A 1982 Stetson Law graduate, Judge McEwen is frequently an advocate for people who cannot afford legal representation. She \u00a0helped create a video for the Bankruptcy \u00a0Pro Bono Pro Se Assistance Project with a grant from The Florida Bar Foundation. Working with the project, the bankruptcy court, \u00a0Tampa Bay Bankruptcy Bar Association and Bay Area Legal Services volunteered time \u00a0to assist people in bankruptcy matters.<\/p>\n

The Watkins Award is presented annually in honor of J. Ben Watkins, a 1949 graduate of Stetson Law who still actively practices law and was instrumental in founding the Stetson Law Review<\/em>. The Stetson Law Review<\/a><\/em> is a premier academic journal published three times per year. Each issue is presented in a symposium format addressing contemporary legal topics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
